hey umm your pretty much screwed wat you can do is turn key to ON for 10 mins, turn to OFF, then start car that some times works, or change the lock cylinder or the pass lock system..all in all its pretty expensive if the little remedys dont work..but ur issue is most likely a pass lock system..

Similar to the previous response I just had to do this with my wife's Alero and that's a 2002 as in the first step turn the key to the on position do not start your car wait 10 minutes turn your ignition off wait 20 seconds then go ahead and crank as in to start your engine if it still will not start you may have to repeat the process another two times for a total of 30 minutes basically step 1 turn the ignition to the on position wait 10 minutes turn the ignition off wait 20 seconds step to turn the ignition to the on do not start your car wait 10 minutes turn the ignition off wait 20 seconds step 3 and the car to the on position wait 10 minutes turn the ignition off wait 20 seconds then start your car you will also need to drive so you that your car can bring a car on how you drive it
